Designing and building these DMGs can be very difficult, which is where DropDMG comes in. The app offers a complete suite of tools and aims to not only provide an easy way of creating disk images, but also to create fully customised DMGs that app developers can use to distribute apps.

DropDMG is a very useful piece of software. Possessing the appealing looks and effortless maneuverability typical of the Mac OS platform and accompanying software, it’s extremely easy to understand how to use it effectively.

November 2008 - MacBitz writes about using DropDMG to help keep data safe:

For the odd files that might contain sensite data, like old scanned credit card statements, I store these in encrypted .dmg files using DropDMG. (If you know the passphrase, you can open an encrypted .dmg file on any Mac without needing the software installed). That way if anyone ever get hold of my backup data the financial stuff would hopefully be safe.

July 2008 - Apple recommends DropDMG for copying large files to MobileMe.

February 2006 - Evan at Newsvine praises DropDMG as being one of “5 Little-known, awesome apps for Mac OS X”:

This little app is also shareware, and it’s a fantastic little find. The fact that it’s fully AppleScript-able means that I was able to write a backup script in a matter of minutes. I actually like this much more than any of the backup software I researched. I use it just about every week and the only drawback is that it offers so many options for encryptions and compressions and file types that it does require a little research prior to diving in and packaging your precious files.

September 2005 - Paul Collins on MacInTouch recommends DropDMG as “a great alternative to StuffIt.”
